comes from you, we the people. not from bureaucrats and government and not from politicians. that's all the time we have left this evening. let not your heart be troubled. the news continues, greta is next to go on the record. greta, take it away. >> tonight, are you a fool? rush says all of us are. >> i feel like i'm being played for the fool here. >> i think the sequester happens and it will be in some ways a yawn because the his tree histrionics coming from the president, the meat standards, is anyone going to call his bluff. >> the things you hear about the skwequester causing recession. >> unless the administration wants them to happen. >> there is no real cut below a baseline of zero, there just isn't, yet, here they come.

>> there will be jobs on the line if the sequester take place. >> thousands of teachers, educators will be laid off. and border patrol agents will see their hours reduced. >> panic here. >> federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals did. >> fear there. >> air traffic contollers and airport security will see cutbacks. >> it just makes me ashamed to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it's being. it just makes me ashamed. >> what we know with unfortunate certainty is that the impact of sequester would be negative on the economy. >> we just keep spending more money, would he create more dependency. we get more and more irresponsible, one crisis to the next, all of them manufactured, except for the real crisis, which nobody ever addresses and that is we can't afford any of this. >> the sequester, real crisis or politics as usual or both.

karl rove joins us, nice to see you, karl. >> greta, great to see you. >> greta: okay, karl, is this a real crisis for the nation or is this just politics as usual or both? >> it's a crisis in this regard. we're talking about cutting 2.3% out of this year's budget. this year's budget is bigger than last year's. it's not like we're cutting below what we spent last year, but we're taking 2.3% of this year's budget and cutting it. now, that's 85 billion out of a 3.554 trillion dollar budget. that is a -- that's $35,540 billions of dollars and we're trying to cut 85 out. if we can't do that, we're in real trouble because we'd have a huge spending problem in this country and we've got to start somewhere. look, i don't want to underestimate how difficult this is in the middle of a fiscal year. it's one thing to do it before

you begin the fiscal year, say next year, we're planning to send, you know, 3.5 trillion and we're going to spend 85 trillion dollars and 85 billion dollars left. it's another thing to be in the middle of the year and cut it. but we better start cutting from the future growth of spending, restrain it, rein it in otherwise the democrats are going to-- the president says we need to keep spending and running up these deficits otherwise the economy is going to be in difficulty. look, we've tried that for four years and our economy has not been on fire. it's the worst recovery in the recorded history of the united states. and our job creation, we're still not back to the point that we were in 2007, when the country went into a recession, we have not been able to spend our way to prosperity and the idea that we continue to that, to that philosophy is just mistaken. >> you know, i don't have any sympathy when you say it's harder in the middle of the year. the first thing i think of is tough.

they're the ones who got into this idea and the president's suggestion although you know, i know there's been some question, he tried to stop that, but his suggestion, the republicans went along with it and the middle of the year they kept pushing it off. i sort of feel like tough. they asked for the job, they paid for it. they have profoundly failed us in resolving this and finding sympathy is hard. >> you can't resolve this without presidential leadership and the president for 18 months has not been interested in a solution. now, let's put this in a little bit of a context. we're talking about cutting 85 billion dollars. that's 2.3% of the federal budget. now, the problem is this: the sequester is designed by the white house, said we're not going to take anything out of mandatory spending, which is 65% of the budget. we're going to cut everything that we're going to cut out of the discretionary part of the budget which is 35% of the budget. so, the 2.3 is not out of the hole. it's out of a part, in reality we're cutting discretionary

spending by about 7%. now, we're doing it in the last seven months of the fiscal year. and we're doing it across the board, a hair cut, the sequester mandate across the board. so, if more things are cut just as deeply as unimportant things, look, this problem is going to get worse unless we figure out a way to do this smarter. over the next decade the cbo forecast the discretionary spending will shrink to 29% of the budget and mandatory to 71 and the sequester is the first. this 85 billion dollars is the first of 1.2 trillion dollars in cuts that are supposed to take place over the next decade and we're increasingly cutting them out of the part of the budget that gets voted upon the discretionary part not out of the mandatory put on autopilot and you know, that's just, making it more and more difficult for us to cut. there's a way out of this and the republicans in the house

in my opinion ought to take the lead on it. i want you to think about this. this has got a cut across the board cut. everything gets cut. 7% of discretionary spending gets cut. 2.3% of the overall budget. we need flexibility so the original cabinet members say i'm going to priority advertise the important things and cut less out of them and the less important things cut more. and that way we're going to be able to do this in a more smart fashion than we're doing with across the board hair cut in everything. it's one thing to say we're going to cut everything for 1%, but if you're talking about 7% then you start cutting, you know, you cut things that are really important and cut an equal amount of things that are less important. >> greta: is there anything to prevent thele politicians here in washington from agreeing on some resolution, sequestration, some spending cut, whatever formula they he come up with and then they come up to the microphones and

they say this is greatly bipartisan or whatever and whatever people behind the process, and then next year, turned around and increase spending anyway? >> well, the actions of one congress can't bind to future congresses and that's why we have to add people in the house senate submitted to the law form of our budget process, yes, you're right. we cut 85 billion dollars this year and no guarantee that people in future years are going to follow through with it. especially as long as this president is in office. remember, this was his idea. he thought it was a great idea. and now, he says it's brutal and arbitrary and wants it revoked. he once threatened to veto any bill that came to him that tried to stop or overturn this sequester, but this is the irony, republicans would be smart to give the president the flexibility so that it's not a cross across the board hairdifficu

haircut. and every has to cut 7% roughly of discretionary income. has to cut that total amount, but adds flexibility to pick and choose among the programs inside that department which will be cut more and some that will be cut less. >> greta: if the republicans dent agree to that flexibility, is it then the republicans are then going to be, you know, and probably justifiably so just being -- gaming the president? i mean, if that's not working toward the solution, if flexibility to sort of pick and choose what to make sense to cut and what doesn't, if the republicans deny the president who won the election the ability to do that, is that just about winning? >> no, first of all, the president has not asked for it. the president's not asked for it. i think it's smart for the republicans to give it to him so he can no longer blame them. if he says we're going to cut meat inspectors, they say look you can cut some other man meat inspectors. at department of transportation can't you find

something not important that you cut and keep the important personnel or border pralle people, isn't there something at homeland security something you can hold off a little while? so, look, the republicans would be smart to give him flexibility and give him more power and he's going to gore a couple of the oxen that republicans like, and republicans e-mail back and forth today with really smart republican strategist who said oversight. the house republicans could call up any cabinet secretary who says, well, i'm going to take -- i'm going to close the washington monument rather than cutting off the gsa conferences with people and remember, the famous photographs of the gsa administrators in the bathtub with his glass of red wine. >> greta: i sure do. >> that's going to-- we all need therapy to overcome that image, but that's the kind of thing that oversight will allow the republicans in the house to say, wait a minute, mr. president, you threatened that ag meat inspectors would be taken away, well, here are

some really, some programs that the agriculture department that are not as important. let me give you the classic example. we have this program that takes, you know-- gives money to people for free cell phones and already we've gotten government reports from the agencies and for the agency itself saying that it's rife with fraud and abuse. well, maybe we ought to be cutting that program before we cut other things that are more important. so the republicans have a 1-2 punch. give the president flexibility so the cabinet secretaries can pick and choose, and takes something less important out of the accounts and keep the important parts of the budget into act and oversight to blow the whistle on any phony money kind of pr gimmicks that the cabinet officials or try to blame them for it. >> greta: a picture if you look at it the guy in the bathtub, he didn't have two matching wine glasses and paid all of that money.

i've taken the last word on that one. thank you, karl. >> thank you. >> greta: rand paul has tough words about the sequester drama. now, we spoke with senator paul how. >> i'm he very well. >> greta: you've been quoted as saying the sequester if it happens to be a yawn, you wonder if anyone in your ward would stand up and say the ridiculousless. explain that. >> we've said all along the sequester is a cut in the rate of increase and even in one year where a blip goes down in spending departments. there are ways to do this without losing any jobs and for example, not rehiring people. when federal workers retire, you know, if you don't hire new workers to replace them, that saves about 6 billion a year. if you were to pay federal employees about the same level you pay private employees, that saves about 32 billion a year. there are other places to cut.

you could cut foreign aid in half and save 20 billion. so we have a list of savings that we could send to the president if he's interested and we could do this without laying anybody off. >> all right, and that's your sequester program, i guess it's, entitled sequester without layoffs, is that how you title it? >> yes. >> okay. >> and this is something-- go ahead. >> in terms of, let me take one that you mention $, foreign aid. cutting foreign aid in half. and contemplate one step further and determine what foreign aid you would cut off. foreign aid has been effective for us in many parts of the world in achieving goals and i'm curious if you've gone further and identify which foreign aid you would cut off. >> i think there's some argument whether it's been effective. a lot of foreign aid has been stolen over the years. and it's become wealthy off our foreign aid. in the end when people were riding in the streets and protesting mubarak's rule and

law. he sprayed them with tear gas, and i don't think that the foreign aid necessarily endeared us to the egyptians rising against mubarak. i would start by cutting foreign aids that are burning our flags and chanting death to americans. aren't acting like our allies. and the large bulk larger than foreign aid would be paying federal workers the same as you pay private workers, if you brought that into parity, you'd save nearly the entire amount that you need for the sequester. >> well, what then to understand this, in all of the discussion about sequestration and where to cut and where not to cut, certain things i don't understand. for instance, the department of labor says that between july 2011, and june 2012, that 4.9 billion in improper unemployment benefits remain, unemployment fraud. i mean, theres' so many-- why is not the discussion at least identifying these huge

pockets of fraud that we have in the federal government or waste? >> you would think. you know, we have 100 billion dollars that's been said to be an improper payments throughout government. there's thought to be 25 million dollars in improper payments just in the pentagon and we haven't audited the pentagon because they say they're too big to be audited, but this is going on decade after decade. what i say is good leadership would be putting-- wouldn't be putting the policemen behind you and 95% of them paid by local taxes. if we have good leadership in the country we've known the sequester is coming for a year and why didn't we have a freeze where we didn't replace any federal workers, na would have saved 6 billion over the year we've been waiting for the sequester. >> greta: do you have any opposition to the suggestion we go into sequestration and allow the obama administration to move funds around to

accommodate certain programs they think are the right ones to pay? >> yeah, there's a pay that the money can be moved around. for example, in the military they have 5.2 million they spent on gold fish, studying gold fish to see how democratic they were and if we could learn about democracy from gold fish. i would give the president the authority to go ahead and cut all 5 million dollars in gold fish studies. i'd give him the authority to cut off the 1.5 million that was studied rollup beef jerky last year in the pentagon's budget. so, yes, i would give him more authority if he's willing to use it to cut off some of this nonsense, but i don't really trust a lot of what's going on when i see him putting local firemen and policemen behind them and saying, republicans are going to make them lose their job. the sequester was his idea, he signed it into law and he needs to take responsibility and he needs to act responsibly and we've given him a list of cuts he could do without laying off anybody. so he should talk to us instead of sort of parading

these pictures in front of us and trying to imply something that's not true. >> greta: all right. and then the final question you gave 20% of your senate budget to the treasury and you and other senators both sides of the aisle have done that and you haven't spent your full budget and returned it to the treasury. do you think that there's a way to encourage more u.s. senators to do that? are you guys spending way too much money? >> yes, and i think it's a good example of how i was able to save 18 to 20% of my budget and not layoff anybody. we had a few people who left for other jobs that we didn't replace, but we watch our money wisely. i have a bill that i've introduced into congress that would give bonuses to civil servants based on them saving money. right now, at the end of the year, civil servants try to spend all of their budgets so they get it the next year. what i would tell civil servants if you have a 12 million dollar budget, you save a million dollars i would give you a raise for saving money. >> greta: senator, nice to see you, sir.

>> thanks, greta. >> greta: we want to hear from you. what do you think about senator paul's proposal to cut foreign aid by 50%. go to gretawire.com and tell us. straight ahead, an absolutely jaw-dropping twist in the oscar pistorius murder case. and south african prosecutor replacing their lead investigator. and also the most hated government agency, the irs. something very fishy is going on there. and darrell issa is here to tell you all about the investigation. and donald trump trading for [ male announcer ] any technology not moving forward is moving backward.

>> the blade runner murder case taking a peculiar turn. taking the lead investigators off the pistorius case. the officer himself is facing murder charges, that news as the judge decides whether or not to let the olympian out on bail. and adam wakefield joins us from johannesburg. adam, what's the story of the investigators and why pulled off and what's with the seven attempted murder counts? >> well, the news broke here

before proceedings began allegedly in 2009 with other colleagues allegedly while intoxicated firearm-- transport people around in the vehicle. and they currently had seven charges of attempted murder hanging over him. they were initially withdrawn by the state's national prosecuting authority, but reportedly reinstated it yesterday and the timing, as you just said, does seem a little bit strange. >> greta: what does the detective think or the investigator think about why they're reinstated. do they think it's coincidental or a motive with the prosecutor? >> and he hasn't said anything in rrdz to why, he was taken off the case and i think in part the effect of the national police commissioner got involved and the person they're bringing in lieutenant general has over 30 years experience and was described as africa's top cop. why did they do it?

i think it has to go down to image. i think perhaps performance in court hasn't been as good as hoped and they're having to up the ante in the investigation. and goes up to image, i don't think it will have too much impact in court. >> greta: not only image, but appease the officer on the scene if he in any way compromised the scene or poisoned the scene or contaminated the scene, that's something that would be very advantageous typically to the defense and versus the prosecution. >> yes, that's absolutely right. what's intriguing while the prosecutor didn't make mention at the proceedings yesterday he was only made aware of the charges in the morning. and he didn't go into it and didn't really mention it in his closing arguments and that's why i suggest i don't think it will be too much relevance. it wasn't discussed in court and-- did he compromise the crime

scene, did-- asking the questions that need to be asked. >> greta: we're all standing by for the decision whether or not he gets bail or not. pistorius gets bail. when is that decision going to be made. >> that decision will most likely be made today. and presents his final argument for bail and he's halfway through his closing arguments, proceedings start again at ten o'clock local time and approximately one hour to two hours to finish the closing argument and we'll have an ajournment before we hear from the chief magistrate. >> adam, thank you as always. >> my pleasure. >> and we're learning about another incident involving olympian oscar pistorius and a gun. kevin lorena, a friend of reeva steenkamp says he almost shot him in the foot while dining in a restaurant. joining us from johannesburg.

kevin before i ask you what happened. this is unrelated to the shooting of steve-- or of reeva steenkamp, is it not? >> yes, it's completely unrelated. and i'm not sure what time of the day, but hello to everybody in america and thanks for having me on your show. but, yes, back to the topic. that's completely unrelated to the reeva steenkamp murder case, but this happened at a restaurant and it was a freak accident and i could have been shot and i wasn't and lucky to be here. >> greta: what exactly happened? >> you know what happened was a friend of ours came to the table to look at the gun and the gun happened to go off and what happened, a mistake from oscar and after the gunshot, you know, fired and--

oscar was apologetic, and luckily enough to tell the tale. >> greta: one thing was curious, he there was a report he tried to get somebody else to try to take responsibility for the shooting and pass it off. is that true or untrue? >> true, but obviously the story came out and oscar has taken the blame for it, but at the time, at that exact him someone else take the blame for oscar because we thought it was unnecessary for-- for oscar's name to be put in the press at that time and someone else to take the blame, but shortly after that the truth did come out and oscar did take the blame for it. >> greta: okay, one of the other things that we're reading the night of the shooting that there was some suggestion there was some flirtatious texts between reeva and a rugby player. and i understand that you know

the rugby player and you know that he hasn't spoken to her since about november. but do you know for a fact whether or not they were texting that day? they hadn't spoken, but whether they were texting? >> no, i know for a fact the rugby player we're very good friends and very close and devastated about the loss of reeva, but haven't spoken by text since november, november is the last time that they'd spoke and that was text message. >> greta: and in describing your friend, oscar, what's he like. >> oscar a friend, a great person. oscar is very humble person and you know, being a young sportsman myself, and always be a person to look up to, he's icon and people need to realize that the blade runner, gold medallist a humble person and good character and like i

say what's happened is very tragic and very, it hasn't sunk in yet, ton honest. >> greta: kevin thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me, thank you. >> greta: cash for cons and guess what? it's your cash. prison inmates are collecting millions and millions of dollars in unemployment. now, how did that happen? and tom corbitt is here to talk about that next. talk about that next. also, why is d

>> well, something very fishy going on at the irs. sure seems like someone may have gotten some special, very special treatment to the tune of 500 million dollars. whistleblower over the house oversight committee and now darrell issa is investigating. nice to see you, sir. >> good seeing you, greta. and thank you for following up on yet another scandal of not political appointees, but career professionals who don't seem to use the kind of judgment that you and i would use in starting with a new company, unproven and issuing them over 500 million dollars worth of contracts icht all right. now, first of all, well, here is what i don't get. you have one employee the at the irs whose name we don't know, it's blackened out in the name i have. and it's a particular company 500 million dollar worth of

contract. what were the contracts for, what kind of work? >> it's to supply mostly off the shelf computers and so on. if you will, i.t. outsourcing. the important thing here is it's only got the opportunity to have this kind of a contract because it located itself in what's called a hub zone, a historically underutilized business zone. the idea of this is you give an opportunity for these blighted areas, in this case, northeast washington d.c., for investors to go in there and create jobs. this is not an example where we can find virtually any jobs, virtually any underprivileged young people or even not young people getting jobs and this is a company that hadn't made up its mind on its name and had a number of names in the first year. >> greta: all right, the person from the irs, does that person have a relationship with the company at all. any personal relationship? >> there does appear to be a friendship between the ceo of this company and the

individual at the irs that would help make this decision. friendships along are not wrong, but when you see this kind of risky behavior, i repeat when you look at 81 billion dollars worth of spending on i.t. by the federal government and as much as 20% of it ultimately being written off as wasted you've got to really scrutinize a brand new company getting this much businessover night. >> greta: is this the kind of contract though, for two questions, one, aren't there competitive bids, number one, so the at least we get the best deal assuming we need this type of outsourcing done, and number two, can one person at the irs make those types of decisions 500 million dollars to one business? >> well, it shouldn't happen, but it appears as though it did. this was something in which much more historically qualified vendors were not -- not awarded the contract and it doesn't appear as though the basis for the contract award was money. in other words, this wasn't a

low bid situation. this was a, you're in a disadvantaged area therefore you get it. but indications are they kind of shopped for their disadvantaged area. as a matter of fact, greta, you know washington d.c. catholic university's campus is not the blighted part of northeast. >> i notice in your letter to the acting secretary of treasury, first of the questions integrity-- i'd go beyond integrity of a crime and if it-- go ahead, sir. >> well, we have the inspector general now telling he is investigating. as you know, ig's have criminal authority and we expect to get to the bottom of the bad idea, misuse of funds and criminal wrongdoing. >> the people who love the irs who gave the friend a 500 million dollar contract. >> and get my return.

>> greta: and what do viewers think, is something suspicious of the irs? go to gretawire.com. well, if you work hard every day and pay your taxes. the next story may light your hair on fire. prisoners in cells are getting millions in unemployment benefits. it's going in including in pennsylvania. tom corbitt joins us. >> thank you for having me, greta. >> greta: why is it that inmates in pennsylvania have received, in the philadelphia area in the county jail, about 7 million dollars in unemployment benefits? >> well, because the way the system is set up now days people can call in to do their two week checkup and renewal, and the cash is transferred automatically electronically. if nobody knows that the person is in jail or if somebody calls in on their behalf and identifies themselves as joe doe at that point in time, that cash is going to go out forward on

electronic transfer automatically, but we've already stopped that, stopped that for a long time. >> greta: in the state prison-- in the prison system, in the county jails we started a model program last year in philadelphia county jail and we start and stopped that and now taken to a state wide program, 51 of 67 counties, where we take our justice information network, j-net that we established back in '96 or '97 and we compare it with the department of labor where we're looking at is who is is in jail and who is getting a check from the department of labor unemployment compensation, if it red flags, if it matches we look into it more and we stop the payment right upfront. >> it's appalling that people are watching the shows night after night. the fact na all of the other people in the county jail get unemployment benefits that shouldn't and goes through the list, it's arizona, mississippi, louisiana, south dakota, new mexico, there are all of these states where the payments have been going improperly to the jail and yet at the same time we're

listening to members of congress talking what to do about sequestration and whose taxes they're raising and see the waste and fraud just doesn't stop. >> and that's what it was our department of labor when i became attorney general-- excuse me, governor in 2011, my secretary of labor and industry created an office of integrity. looking for waste, fraud and abuse and we started looking into and talking to the counties if they wanted to enter the the programs if ne wanted to enter the state system and they did. i don't want the viewers to think that the check goes to the jail. >> greta: it's a bank account. >> their bank account. keep in mind people live in county jails are shorter term sentences or awaiting trial and the important point is they shouldn't be able to collect anything there because we're taking care of them. they're getting three squares and a cot when they're sitting in jail. >> greta: it's stunning and i hope that the other states on this list do something about their problems as well. >> technology can really help. >> greta: indeed. governor, welcome to washington. >> thank you very much.
